What kind of bit did you use to drill thru the tube side wall?

Kari - i traced out the OD of the 3/4" pipe then drilled and dremel grind until the pipe can fit through snugly. I then grinded down the union and coupling fittings to contour of the OD and ID curve of the tubing.

I'll recalibrate every time I change the media and I'll just unscrew the gland nut with the probe as a whole and then screw it back in. I used gas teflon tape on the threads so its easy to remove.

Sweet Chin. Really like the design. So when you say you have a removable media chamber that is the screws on the bottom and the screws on the top then you can pull just the chamber away from the pump and PVC? That is sweet.
SO what's your retail price and are you taking orders ;)
